just maybe I'm crazy

But I think these new thingies might just sorta kinda be having an effect. More energy and focus. This morning I took one after my early morning pee (06h) and sure enough I was wide awake well before 08h. Almost full of beans too.

And it's snowing again. Rather heavily.

Frida Boccara? I no longer feel so alone in my fandom. I only recently discovered her French music (I have a vinyl recording of her singing in German that was released in 1972). *sigh*

Archambault on Ste Catherine Est has her Master Serie best of, and probably Place des Arts, her live disc--though her sing-along version of «mon pays» is a bit too much like "the world it belongs to me" from Cabaret.

She's amazing! And she won Eurovision in 69 with «un jour, un enfant»

Yeesh! How many times do I have to tell you Vancouverites to STOP STEALING MY WINTER!?! give it back already! It was an unacceptable 12C today! And will be 14C tomorrow! ARGH!

We'll trade our winter for yours, and everyone will be happy.

Exactly. Vancouver needs to take it's wet 'n' mild "winter" back, and return the cold and snow to Montreal where it belongs.

Frida in 1981 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FouhTyjm9Pc). Beautiful tune!

A few years ago, Fondation Olo put out a compilation called "Le Lait", which is mostly French pop from the 60s and 70s. "Pour vivre ensemble" is on it. I googled her after that and found a greatest hits kind of cd at HMV, part of the "Chanson Française" series. The image on the cover is your Frida userpic. "Mon Pays" isn't on it, I'll have to scout it out.

My favourite is a toss up between "Cent mille chansons" and "Pour vivre ensemble". Although I must say, that my first encounter with her--"So ist das Leben" is quite good (when she sings the line "Ich bin allein" in rather deep alto, she sounds like she is channeling Marlene Dietrich). I need to find a turntable so I can hear it again.
